It is highly recommended if you are using the Nvidia binary drivers that you use version 7676 or earlier as later revisions have serious problems with features like XvMC and OpenGL sync which can result in poor performance or lockups.

MythTV

New Features

Major LiveTV changes - LiveTV is now treated more like a normal recording in that you can press "R" during LiveTV to transition the currently recorded content into a scheduled recording. LiveTV recordings are placed into a separate LiveTV recording group and hidden from view by default. You can enable viewing of these recordings if you desire. LiveTV recordings are expired before any other content.

Auto-expire is forced on for all systems because of the LiveTV changes. This would be a good time to confirm your expiration settings are appropriate for your system. If you use your partition for other content, leave yourself a buffer large enough to handle your needs. Adjust the auto-expiration timer to ensure that programs are expired as needed to free space. Check your recording schedules and existing programs to be sure their auto-expiration setting is correct.

Recording ending times may be changed while recordings are in progress

Recordings in progress on a slave will be discovered if the master restarts and the master can restart a recording on another card if a slave fails during a recording

Added playgroups which allow default playback options (timestretch, skip and jump intervals) to be set on a per recording schedule basis.

Added support for changing channels across tuners during LiveTV without having to change tuners manually first.

The Program Details page is now scrollable and includes more details from the listings and more MythTV specific information about the show

Added popup keyboard in text boxes

Schedule changes can be previewed when modifying recording schedules to see the results of changes before saving them

Added ability to control MythTV through telnet socket. See Ticket 1092 for details.

Filename changes. Recordings are now saved without ending times in the filename and MPEG-2 recordings will have the .mpg extension instead of .nuv like MPEG-4 or RTJPEG recordings.

Added option to select audio track or subtitle track from OSD during playback

New program that displays a myth themed dialog which shows a welcome/status information screen that is designed to be shown whenever the frontend is not running i.e. when the computer has been started to record a program or is waiting for the backend to shut things down. The screen shows a status message line that indicates what the backend is currently doing eg idle, recording, comm flagging, transcoding etc. Also shows what programs are currently being recorded if any and what the next scheduled recording is. There is also a "Start MythTV Frontend" push button to start the frontend.
